STWF Sports | Dec. 12, 2025 – Athletic greatness appears to be running straight through the next generation of the Brady family. Just days after Tom Brady’s niece went No. 1 overall in the Athletes Unlimited Softball League draft, another Brady relative is making headlines—this time on the basketball court. Jack Moynahan, the 6-foot-6 forward and eldest son of the seven-time Super Bowl champion, has gone viral after a highlight reel showcasing his scoring touch, size, and defensive instincts exploded online.

The clip, posted by Overtime on X, quickly surpassed 3.9 million views, igniting a frenzy of praise and curiosity around the Riverdale School standout.

“Tom Brady’s son, Jack Moynahan, is a HOOPER,” Overtime captioned the montage that featured Moynahan scoring in the paint, blocking shots, and flashing a growing all-around game.

FANS REACT: “THIS IS PURE 1980s GAME”

Social media’s reaction was instant—and enthusiastic.

“This is pure 1980s game. Gotta love it,” one fan wrote, citing Moynahan’s back-to-the-basket physicality rarely seen in today’s perimeter-heavy era.

“Already better than Bronny,” another fan joked, taking an early shot at LeBron James’ son and Los Angeles Lakers rookie, Bronny James.

Others marveled at the family’s athletic lineage:
“Are all of Brady’s children genetic freaks?”

SCOUTING REPORT: A RAPIDLY RISING RECRUIT

A recent scouting evaluation from Riverside has only intensified the buzz. According to the report, Moynahan has made a dramatic leap in performance, basketball IQ, and leadership.

“Jack has turned himself into a highly sought-after prospect. His learning curve for the game is impressive,” the report noted.

The scouting breakdown highlighted:

• Improved passing vision and floor awareness

• Sharper, smarter off-ball movement

• Understanding of spacing beyond his years

• Consistent perimeter shooting

• Leadership qualities that stand out in huddles

Moynahan averaged 11 points and 7 rebounds, shooting above 50% from the field during Riverside’s HGAL campaign.

“He’s the type of player that motivates me as a coach to be my best,” the evaluator wrote. “As Jack continues to grow in height, strength, and IQ… watch out.”

NBA STAR CO-SIGN: KAT SHOWS SUPPORT

The hype isn’t limited to fans and scouts—Karl-Anthony Towns has already taken notice.

The Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star posted a picture with Moynahan and Brady, teasing:
“Next time we’re running routes?”

Other photos show the 18-year-old dunking and flashing ball-handling ability, imagery that could one day feature in recruiting packages across major conferences.

BRADY BLOODLINES, MOYNAHAN NAME

Born in 2007, Jack is the son of Bridget Moynahan, who gave him her last name following her split from Brady in 2006. The football icon later had two more children—Benjamin Rein and Vivian Lake—with Gisele Bündchen.

Though Brady has often said Jack loves football, and once dreamed of playing quarterback like his father, basketball has clearly become a major part of his athletic identity.

THE NEXT BIG BRADY STORY?

For now, Moynahan is an emerging high school prospect with size, skill, and a fast-improving game. But the mixture of physical tools, leadership qualities, and a world-famous work ethic makes him one of the most intriguing young athletes carrying a superstar surname.

If his viral highlight reel is any indication, Tom Brady may soon have company in the “next big thing” category—this time on the hardwood, not the gridiron.
